Gizmodo have posted up YouTube copies of British Mac ads. Frankly being British (I’ve not used that word for a long time) and living in England I’m not really impressed. There’s just something very.. er.. British about them. I think more than anything it’s the accent. British people, to me atleast, just don’t sound convincing [...]

It didn’t take long to happen. The enterprising Chinese have produced a phone which looks remarkably like Apple’s iPhone. In a strange twist, however, it runs Windows Mobile 6.
Vr-zone reports that the M8 produced by a company called Meizu is smaller, potentially lighter and has a greater screen resolution that the iPhone. The M8 supports [...]

Mark has moved his blog to WordPress. I suppose it’s because it’s free and Ashleigh offered to host it for him. However, it’s also built on PHP so no doubt the man with the initials ‘MS’ will have something to say about it in future. I must agree that Live Spaces are a bit rubbish. [...]

…so the old Silicon Valley saying goes.
One of the first articles I remember reading on the topic of managing geeks was in Fast Company magazine in 1999. In the article Eric Schmidt, then CEO of Novell Inc. gave his viewpoint on how to get the best out of these talented, if somewhat unique people. [...]

I’m doing some research currently into work, working, motivation, teams and nice stuff like that. During this time I need humour to get me through the day. For years I’ve turned to the likes of B3TA and Newgrounds. Now Newgrounds is home to many brilliant Flash videos (my personal favourite being Captain Lowrez).
B3TA is, frankly, [...]

Mike Elgan wrote an article for ComputerWorld which was repeated on MacNN. It’s entitled “why Steve Job’s blew his iPhone keynote”. Fundamentally it boils down to raising too much expectation for a product which is still months away. Elgan also says that the iPhone will pretty much fail as it doesn’t deliver the technology that [...]

So the Venice Project has become Joost, for those of you who are interested.
I’ve been feeding back to the Venice Project for a few weeks now (I got onto the beta about a week before Christmas 2006) about the fact that it doesn’t work on Vista.
Various other beta testers have highlighted this too and a temporary [...]

Popular on YouTube. Made me laugh so thought it worthy of a post.

Rory Cellan-Jones who writes a blog on the BBC ¦ News website has taken a bashing from the ‘Cult of Mac’ over his coverage of the iPhone. His post ‘Style or Substance‘ documents some of the responses to his news broadcast for the BBC covering the launch of Apple’s new ‘reinvented phone’.
Much in the [...]

In October of 2007 I’ll have had a .Mac membership account for 5 years. I even signed up when it was only availible in the US claiming a $50 rebate and getting my first year for $49.95. During that time I’ve seen iSync become more prevalent, .Mac Groups materialise and an ever growing integration with [...]
